Sponsor, do you accept the amendment as friendly?

No unfortunately I can't support that change.

I would offer this amendment, however:

Quote
Bacon Cheese Burger Bill
The Bacon Cheese Burger is hereby declared as the National Food of Atlasia. Please consume in a responsible manner.


Almost like a beer commercial saying, "savour responsibly". :P

The sponsor has not accepted the amendment as friendly.

We are now voting on the following amendment. Please vote aye, nay, or abstain.

Quote
Veggie Burger Bill
The Veggie Burger is hereby declared as the National Food of Atlasia.

While bacon cheeseburgers are, in fact, delicious, I'm not sure they should be promoted as the national food.  Why not something that is truly Atlasian in origin like lime jello?

In my opinion, we should make Chinese food the national food of Atlasia.
